Tom Sawyer Play Is an Adventure
A 35-minute hand-clapping, foot-stomping musical version of a Mark Twain favorite returns with this Tall Stacks festival.
“Tom Sawyer: A River Adventure” has all the good stuff, including the fence painting, the graveyard, the island and the cave. It is adapted by Joe McDonough, with music by David Kisor. That’s the local stage writing team that creates many of the Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati’s original musicals, along with the holiday family musicals at Ensemble Theatre.
This year Nathan Turner of Burlington is Tom Sawyer, and Robbie McMath of Fort Mitchell is Huck Finn.
Tumer, a 10th-grader at School for Creative and Performing Arts, is a familiar presence on Cincinnati’s stages. He is a star act or of Children’s Theatre, having played leading roles in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and “The Wizard of Oz,” and is fresh from Jersey Production “Ragtime”.
McMath is a junior at Beechwood High School. He was in the cast of “Tom Sawyer” when it was first performed and is a Children’s Theatre regular, with five shows to his credit. This summer he attended Kentucky’s Governor’s School for the Arts in Musical Theatre.
Note to teachers: Children’s Theatre has a study guide demonstrating how math and science can be taught through “Tom Sawyer.” For downloadable lessons, visit the official website of Children’s Theatre.

We may weep for the dodo, but could and should we bring this lovely bird back from the dead De-extinction is the science of restoring lost species and it has been in the news for decades.
The story in modern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichton published his science fiction novel Jurassic Park, in which he imagined a world where scientists were able to bring dinosaurs back to life. Crichton imagined that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology could be a way to amplify (放大) tiny quantities of dinosaur DNA and thus build a living embryo.
Sadly, biologists soon realized that DNA in fact breaks down super-fast; even after 100 years, DNA from museum skins of dodos was decayed (腐烂) beyond repair. They could be sequenced (测定序列) using massive computational power, but then only with considerable uncertainty. And even if you capture a DNA sequence, there’s still the problem of how you get living cells to read that sequence and express proteins that make the dinosaur or the dodo.
But why would anyone want to see mammoths, or something like them, roaming (漫游) present-day Siberia Well, they were undoubtedly amazing beasts. As well as hunting them, our distant ancestors painted their likenesses in caves across Europe. Fascinating as they may be, there's some ecological justification for the project too.
It was this diversity of land surface, broken up by heavy limbs and randomly fertilised by faeces (排泄物), that supported so much flora (植物群). Without the mammoths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes would once again be with a variety of species, including flowers and bushes.
True, it’s not de-extinction in the sense of bringing a long-dead species back to life. Instead it’s more like making a “dodo” by engineering a modern pigeon, its closest relative, to become huge and flightless. The result would be a big, fatty pigeon that, whether it looked like a dodo or not, would probably fulfil some of its ecological roles.
As a palaeontologist, I would of course love to see living dinosaurs, mammoths and dodos. In some ways, though, I am relieved that the optimistic claims for cloning and genetic technologies have not been borne out. The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes—and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton’s more fevered imaginings.
8. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. A science fiction review. B. The development of DNA.
C. An inspired guess of de-extinction. D. The application of PCR technology.
9. What’s the barrier to cloning a living embryo
A. DNA is hard to keep for long. B. Computational power is limited.
C. Biologists are opposed to it. D. Living cells can t be sequenced.
10. Why are people interested in cloning extinct species
A. They expect to seek hunt fun. B. They lack sources of modern art.
C. They need them for research. D. They want to see biodiversity.
11. What’s the author’s attitude toward cloning extinct species
A. Cautious. B. Unclear. C. Dismissive. D. Approving.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本篇是议论文，作者对克隆灭绝物种进行了分析。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第二段讲到“in which he imagined a world where scientists were able to bring dinosaurs back to life. Crichton imagined that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology could be a way to amplify (放大) tiny quantities of dinosaur DNA and thus build a living embryo. (在小说里，他想象了一个科学家能够让恐龙复活的世界。克莱顿设想聚合酶链式反应（PCR）技术可能是一种扩增(放大) 微小数量的恐龙DNA，从而构建了一个活的胚胎。)”可知，第二段的主要内容是一个关于灭绝动物复活启发性猜测。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“Sadly, biologists soon realized that DNA in fact breaks down super-fast; even after 100 years, DNA from museum skins of dodos was decayed (腐烂) beyond repair. (可悲的是，生物学家很快意识到DNA实际上分解得非常快；即使在100年后，博物馆里渡渡鸟皮肤上的DNA也腐烂得无法修复。)”可知，克隆活胚胎的障碍是很难长期保存。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。文章第五段讲到“Without the mammoths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes would once again be with a variety of species, including flowers and bushes. (没有长毛象，这种多样性就消失了。让他们回归，景观将再次出现各种各样的物种，包括花朵和灌木。)”可知，人们热衷于克隆灭绝动物主要是想看到生物的多样性。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes—and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton’s more fevered imaginings (经济放缓给了我们时间来考虑结果——并有望避免迈克尔·克莱顿的一些更狂热的想象)”可知，作者对克隆灭绝动物持谨慎的观点。故选A。

One of the world’s oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by pouring rain in Pakistan as the country battles the worst floods in its history.
Moenjodaro, a World Heritage site in the Indus River valley 508 kilometers (316 miles) from Karachi, was built in the Bronze Age, some 5,000 years ago. “Unfortunately we witnessed the mass destruction at the site,” reads a letter from the Cultural, Tourism & Antiquities Department of Singh state sent to UNESCO and signed by director Ihsan Ali Abbasi and architect Naveed Ahmed Sangah. The letter adds the site was being used as temporary accommodation for surrounding residents whose own homes had flooded.
Moenjodaro’s significance can’t be underestimated when it was added to UNESCO’s register in 1980, the organization wrote that Moenjodaro “bears exceptional proof to the Indus civilization,” comprising “the most ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent”.
The letter explains some of the immediate actions the site team has taken to mitigate the flood damage, like bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork. But it’s clear that these measures will not be enough.
Abbasi and Sangah ended their letter by asking for 100 million Pakistani rupees ($45 million) to cover the costs of full repairs. UNESCO has responded to the request for help, allocating $350,000 from its emergency fund for damaged historic sites in Pakistan during UN Secretary General António Guterres’s visit to the flood-stricken country this week.
The funds will go to Moenjodaro and other sites including the Amri Museum. While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites, it will pay for urgent work while UNESCO and local organization consider the best way forward. Sadly, the conservators of Moenjodaro have known for some time that flooding could bring a serious risk to the site.
In their letter, Abbasi and Sangah express concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger, which the preservation body updates periodically to highlight historic places that are at severe risk of ruin.
12. What makes Moenjodaro special to Pakistan
A. The geographic feature it bears.
B. The role it played in fighting floods.
C. The mass destruction it suffered in history.
D. The value it holds in history and architecture.
13. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Reduce. B. Suffer. C. Avoid. D. Assess.
14. Which best describes the situation of the repair work made so far
A. Creative. B. Worrying. C. Impractical. D. Satisfactory.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Pakistan’s Deadly Floods Causing Widespread Damage
B. Moenjodaro Calling for Attention to Its Severe Damage
C. Moenjodaro Added to the List of UNESCO Sites in Danger
D. Pakistan UNESCO Site Moenjodaro Badly Damaged by Flooding
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Moenjodaro’s significance can’t be underestimated when it was added to UNESCO’s register in 1980, the organization wrote that Moenjodaro “bears exceptional proof to the Indus civilization,” comprising “the most ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent”.(1980年，当门佐达罗被列入联合国教科文组织名录时，它的重要性不容小觑。该组织写道，门佐达罗“为印度河文明提供了独特的证据”，是“印度次大陆上最古老的规划城市”)”可知，门佐达罗在历史和建筑上的价值使它对巴基斯坦来说很特别。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The letter explains some of the immediate actions the site team has taken(这封信解释了现场团队立即采取的一些行动)”及下文“like bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork. But it’s clear that these measures will not be enough.(比如引进水泵和修复砖墙。但很明显，这些措施还不够)”可知，现场团队立即采取了一些措施来减轻洪水破坏。由此可知，划线词mitigate与reduce“减少，降低”意思接近。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But it’s clear that these measures will not be enough.(但很明显，这些措施还不够)”及倒数第二段中的“While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites, it will pay for urgent work while UNESCO and local organization consider the best way forward.(虽然这笔钱远远少于完全修复遗址所需的钱，但它将支付联合国教科文组织和当地组织考虑最佳前进方式的紧急工作)”及最后一段“In their letter, Abbasi and Sangah express concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger, which the preservation body updates periodically to highlight historic places that are at severe risk of ruin.(在他们的信中，Abbasi和Sangah表达了对门佐达罗可能被列入联合国教科文组织濒危遗址名单的担忧，该保护机构定期更新该名单，以突出那些面临严重破坏风险的历史遗迹)”可推知，到目前为止，维修工作的情况令人担忧。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“One of the world’s oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by pouring rain in Pakistan as the country battles the worst floods in its history.(巴基斯坦正在与历史上最严重的洪水作斗争，世界上保存最古老的人类住区之一在暴雨中遭到严重破坏)”及下文介绍可知，文章主要介绍了世界上保存最古老的人类住区之一——巴基斯坦的世界遗产门佐达罗在暴雨中遭到严重破坏和拯救方法。由此可知，D. Pakistan UNESCO Site Moenjodaro Badly Damaged by Flooding(巴基斯坦联合国教科文组织世界遗产地门佐达罗被洪水严重破坏)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。
第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We’re lucky to live in an age when the sum total of human knowledge is pretty available at the click of a button. We’ ve never had access to so much information. ____16____. So here are a few strategies to sharpen your critical thinking.
Watch out for confirmation prejudice(偏见). ____17____. In repeated experiments, psychologists have shown we’re much more likely to accept something as evidence if it confirms what we already think we know. And we’re much more likely to ignore information if it is not in line with our views, which will affect our ability to process information.
Acknowledge small differences. In life, most situations are varying and complicated. Admitting that can enrich the way that we view the world. For example, what colour is the sky Well, the obvious answer is blue. But at sunrise or sunset, it can be red. On a cold misty morning, white or gray. ____18____.
Practise intellectual humility (谦逊). One approach to, well, arguing, is to let go of the idea of being “right”. Or at least seriously consider that you might actually be wrong. ____19____. Really try to understand where the other person is coming from. Arguing is just to waste somebody’s time.
____20____. It’s more important than ever to know where your information is coming from. That science-looking paragraphs might look very convincing until you dig a little deeper and find it was just posted by someone having no qualifications. That is the case we should not overlook.
Engaging in critical thinking isn’t as fun as picking up a pitchfork, or feeling like you’re fundamentally right. But in the long run, it leads to a more curious, educated and harmonious society, which is the biggest win of all.
A. Avoid mistakes
B. Check your sources
C. We all enjoy feeling like we’re right
D. But not all of what’s out there is quite what it seems
E. So pay attention to differences in many situations
F. So don’t rush to decide and be actively prepared to change your mind
G. Putting yourself into the other person’s shoes can have more fruitful outcomes
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. E 19. G 20. B
【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国春节的影响力和作用。
【36题详解】
考查分数。句意：如今，全球约有五分之一的人口庆祝春节，使其成为一个世界性的节日。根据空前的one可知，这里表示五分之一，应用序数词fifth。表示分数时，分子用基数词，分母用序数词，当分词大于1时，分母的序数词要用复数。故填fifth。
【37题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：春节被广泛称为农历新年，2023年12月22日被定为联合国浮动假日。根据句中的时间状语“on December 22, 2023”可知，这里是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。主语The Spring Festival和honor之间是动宾关系，所以应用被动语态，主语是单数，be动词使用was。故填was honored。
【38题详解】
考查it作形式主语。句意：据宣布，联合国将尽量避免在当天安排会议活动。It is announced that...为固定句型，意为“据宣布……”，其中It作形式主语，that引导的是主语从句。故填It。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。固定搭配avoid doing sth.意为“避免做某事”，动名词作宾语。故填arranging。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：它也将在全球推广中国传统。空处修饰谓语will promote，应用副词globally意为“全球地”。故填globally。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：春节有着4000年的历史，一直延续到今天，并传播到世界许多国家。固定搭配spread to...意为“传播到……”，to是介词。故填to。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：因此，它是连接中国现在和过去的纽带。空后的bond是第一次提到，表示泛指，且其发音以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：这是海内外中国人之间的紧密联系。固定搭配at home and abroad意为“在国内外”。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它还表达了各国应该追求的共同目标：创造一个和谐繁荣的命运共同体。分析句子结构，空处引导限定性定语从句，先行词是a common goal，指物，关系词在从句中作宾语，应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that或which。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。share意为“共享，共同拥有（某种看法﹑特质或经历）”。空处应用非谓语动词，作定语修饰future，share和future之间是动宾关系，应用过去分词。故填shared。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ballet was a way of life in Kelly’s family. Her elder sister Serena was now dancing at a top college.Though Kelly’s mom always wanted her to follow in her sister’s footsteps and Kelly herself was good at ballet,her love for ballet had faded years before,and she was eager for a new challenge.
One day at school,as Kelly left the dance studio,she walked past the gym,fascinated by boxers(拳击手)training inside the boxing ring. She was deeply impressed by how hard they hit and how fast they moved. In fact, she’d long been attracted to boxing.
She pulled a piece of paper from her backpack.On the familiar Oakwood High School Club Sign-up Sheet was the phrase：BOXING CLUB TRYOUT(选拔).That was what Kelly really wanted to do.She knew her mom had high expectations for her when it came to ballet. Tired of trying to keep up with her sister, Kelly was ready to carve her own path.
The next day,she gathered her courage and told Serena about her new passion. At first, Serena didn’t understand and thought she was just joking. But when she saw Kelly was serious, she replied, “You know Mom wants you to be a ballet dancer,right Besides, boxing is only for boys,and you’re so good at ballet.Lean into your strength,Kelly.”
“But this is where I want to put my strength,” Kelly insisted,“and what exactly does ‘only for boys’mean,anyway Boxing is a sport for everyone!”
Gradually,touched by her determination and passion, Serena began to understand and support her.Kelly could feel it. Her sister was going to respect her decision,no matter what.But that was nothing compared to the preparations for the tryout,where she was required to show her footwork and punching(击打)abilities with other candidates. Boxing didn＇t come natural to Kelly,but she had made up her mind to stick with her choice.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右;
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then Kelly began her training for the tryout, keeping it a secret from her mom.
_______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then Kelly began her training for the tryout, keeping it a secret from her mom. Ballet was the Kelly way of life, so only her sister knew about boxing, and her mother would have stopped it. Because boxing didn't come naturally to Kelly, she just came to love it, so she often got knocked down during training and suffered. Now that you've made a choice, you can't give up. She has an unyielding spirit and must participate in the qualifiers.
The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted. Kelly was afraid to look at the published list for fear of losing out. Then a woman tapped her on the shoulder and told her she had been chosen. The voice sounded familiar to her. It was her mother. Her sister stood by smiling. Before she knew it, her mother told her she had known she had been boxing. Her mother very much support her. Now through the qualifiers, the family happily went home to celebrate. This really echoes the saying, "Interest is the best teacher".

When she was a college freshman, and a friend signed her up for a campus comedy contest. Despite having no previous experience in stand-up, she immediately felt comfortable on stage and won the contest. This experience lit her passion for comedy. However, Leslie Jones faced challenges in pursuing (追求) a professional comedy career.
At the age of 19, she received advice from Jamie Foxx, who suggested that she needed more life experiences to draw material from for her comedy. Foxx advised her to go out, live life, work various jobs, and gain a broader range of experiences to enrich her comedy. Jones took Foxx’s advice to heart and took on a series of jobs, including working as a justice of the peace at weddings and even working for a construction company owned by Scientologists. Throughout these experiences, she kept her ultimate goal of becoming a comedian in mind.

She’s willing to take risks and use her physicality to get laughs from her audience. She’s known for her energetic and bold performances, which often involve physical performance or exaggerated movements.

We may weep for the dodo, but could and should we bring this lovely bird back from the dead De-extinction is the science of restoring lost species and it has been in the news for decades.
The story in modern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichton published his science fiction novel Jurassic Park, in which he imagined a world where scientists were able to bring dinosaurs back to life. Crichton imagined that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology could be a way to amplify (放大) tiny quantities of dinosaur DNA and thus build a living embryo.
Sadly, biologists soon realized that DNA in fact breaks down super-fast; even after 100 years, DNA from museum skins of dodos was decayed (腐烂) beyond repair. They could be sequenced (测定序列) using massive computational power, but then only with considerable uncertainty. And even if you capture a DNA sequence, there’s still the problem of how you get living cells to read that sequence and express proteins that make the dinosaur or the dodo.
But why would anyone want to see mammoths, or something like them, roaming (漫游) present-day Siberia Well, they were undoubtedly amazing beasts. As well as hunting them, our distant ancestors painted their likenesses in caves across Europe. Fascinating as they may be, there's some ecological justification for the project too.
It was this diversity of land surface, broken up by heavy limbs and randomly fertilised by faeces (排泄物), that supported so much flora (植物群). Without the mammoths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes would once again be with a variety of species, including flowers and bushes.
True, it’s not de-extinction in the sense of bringing a long-dead species back to life. Instead it’s more like making a “dodo” by engineering a modern pigeon, its closest relative, to become huge and flightless. The result would be a big, fatty pigeon that, whether it looked like a dodo or not, would probably fulfil some of its ecological roles.
As a palaeontologist, I would of course love to see living dinosaurs, mammoths and dodos. In some ways, though, I am relieved that the optimistic claims for cloning and genetic technologies have not been borne out. The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes—and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton’s more fevered imaginings.
8. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. A science fiction review. B. The development of DNA.
C. An inspired guess of de-extinction. D. The application of PCR technology.
9. What’s the barrier to cloning a living embryo
A. DNA is hard to keep for long. B. Computational power is limited.
C. Biologists are opposed to it. D. Living cells can t be sequenced.
10. Why are people interested in cloning extinct species
A. They expect to seek hunt fun. B. They lack sources of modern art.
C. They need them for research. D. They want to see biodiversity.
11. What’s the author’s attitude toward cloning extinct species
A. Cautious. B. Unclear. C. Dismissive. D. Approving.
D
One of the world’s oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by pouring rain in Pakistan as the country battles the worst floods in its history.
Moenjodaro, a World Heritage site in the Indus River valley 508 kilometers (316 miles) from Karachi, was built in the Bronze Age, some 5,000 years ago. “Unfortunately we witnessed the mass destruction at the site,” reads a letter from the Cultural, Tourism & Antiquities Department of Singh state sent to UNESCO and signed by director Ihsan Ali Abbasi and architect Naveed Ahmed Sangah. The letter adds the site was being used as temporary accommodation for surrounding residents whose own homes had flooded.
Moenjodaro’s significance can’t be underestimated when it was added to UNESCO’s register in 1980, the organization wrote that Moenjodaro “bears exceptional proof to the Indus civilization,” comprising “the most ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent”.
The letter explains some of the immediate actions the site team has taken to mitigate the flood damage, like bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork. But it’s clear that these measures will not be enough.
Abbasi and Sangah ended their letter by asking for 100 million Pakistani rupees ($45 million) to cover the costs of full repairs. UNESCO has responded to the request for help, allocating $350,000 from its emergency fund for damaged historic sites in Pakistan during UN Secretary General António Guterres’s visit to the flood-stricken country this week.
The funds will go to Moenjodaro and other sites including the Amri Museum. While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites, it will pay for urgent work while UNESCO and local organization consider the best way forward. Sadly, the conservators of Moenjodaro have known for some time that flooding could bring a serious risk to the site.
In their letter, Abbasi and Sangah express concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger, which the preservation body updates periodically to highlight historic places that are at severe risk of ruin.

We’re lucky to live in an age when the sum total of human knowledge is pretty available at the click of a button. We’ ve never had access to so much information. ____16____. So here are a few strategies to sharpen your critical thinking.
Watch out for confirmation prejudice(偏见). ____17____. In repeated experiments, psychologists have shown we’re much more likely to accept something as evidence if it confirms what we already think we know. And we’re much more likely to ignore information if it is not in line with our views, which will affect our ability to process information.
Acknowledge small differences. In life, most situations are varying and complicated. Admitting that can enrich the way that we view the world. For example, what colour is the sky Well, the obvious answer is blue. But at sunrise or sunset, it can be red. On a cold misty morning, white or gray. ____18____.
Practise intellectual humility (谦逊). One approach to, well, arguing, is to let go of the idea of being “right”. Or at least seriously consider that you might actually be wrong. ____19____. Really try to understand where the other person is coming from. Arguing is just to waste somebody’s time.
____20____. It’s more important than ever to know where your information is coming from. That science-looking paragraphs might look very convincing until you dig a little deeper and find it was just posted by someone having no qualifications. That is the case we should not overlook.
Engaging in critical thinking isn’t as fun as picking up a pitchfork, or feeling like you’re fundamentally right. But in the long run, it leads to a more curious, educated and harmonious society, which is the biggest win of all.
A. Avoid mistakes
B. Check your sources
C. We all enjoy feeling like we’re right
D. But not all of what’s out there is quite what it seems
E. So pay attention to differences in many situations
F. So don’t rush to decide, and be actively prepared to change your mind
G. Putting yourself into the other person’s shoes can have more fruitful outcomes

Ballet was a way of life in Kelly’s family. Her elder sister Serena was now dancing at a top college.Though Kelly’s mom always wanted her to follow in her sister’s footsteps and Kelly herself was good at ballet,her love for ballet had faded years before,and she was eager for a new challenge.
One day at school,as Kelly left the dance studio,she walked past the gym,fascinated by boxers(拳击手)training inside the boxing ring. She was deeply impressed by how hard they hit and how fast they moved. In fact, she’d long been attracted to boxing.
She pulled a piece of paper from her backpack.On the familiar Oakwood High School Club Sign-up Sheet was the phrase：BOXING CLUB TRYOUT(选拔).That was what Kelly really wanted to do.She knew her mom had high expectations for her when it came to ballet. Tired of trying to keep up with her sister, Kelly was ready to carve her own path.
The next day,she gathered her courage and told Serena about her new passion. At first, Serena didn’t understand and thought she was just joking. But when she saw Kelly was serious, she replied, “You know Mom wants you to be a ballet dancer,right Besides, boxing is only for boys,and you’re so good at ballet.Lean into your strength,Kelly.”
“But this is where I want to put my strength,” Kelly insisted,“and what exactly does ‘only for boys’mean,anyway Boxing is a sport for everyone!”
Gradually,touched by her determination and passion, Serena began to understand and support her.Kelly could feel it. Her sister was going to respect her decision,no matter what.But that was nothing compared to the preparations for the tryout,where she was required to show her footwork and punching(击打)abilities with other candidates.
